The American Civil Liberties Union
is urging the Senate to reject the newest version of proposed
anti-terrorism legislation, saying that it poses significantly
more danger to civil liberties than the measure adopted earlier
this week by the House Judiciary Committee.
"The new Senate legislation goes far beyond
any powers conceivably necessary to fight terrorism in the
United States," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the
ACLU’s Washington National Office. "The long-term impact
on basic freedoms in this legislation cannot be justified."

Due to overwhelming success of this past summer's Crouching Fish, Hidden Finger Tour, Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish have decided to join forces yet again to bring their frenetic, fun-filled live shows to the masses for one more go 'round. The second leg of the tour begins September 30th. From October 16 to October 25th Reel Big Fish will make a go of it alone, after which the two bands will reconvene for a make-up date on October 26th in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Opening for Southern California's finest is an assortment of today's best up-and-comers, including Sugarcult, Mest, The Movielife, The Reunion Show and others. The latest string of dates will be followed by a series of west coast shows beginning in Nov. in which both bands will hit cities such as Seattle, Portland and San Diego, among others.

(ORLANDO, FL - September 25, 2001) - The House of Blues invites Central
Florida to experience a soul-stirring event-the Third Annual "Where the Art
Meets the Soul" Folk Art Festival.
Occurring in conjunction with DOWNTOWN DISNEY's Festival of the Masters, on the weekend of November 10 & 11 from
9:30 AM to 5:30 PM the HOB sidewalks will come alive with colorful artwork
and inspiring stories from prominent national and regional Folk Artists.
Moreover, House of Blues celebrates the unique visions of self-taught
artists who pour spirit into their artwork often using found materials. For
the first time ever, the House of Blues-Orlando will welcome nationally
recognized, premier folk artist Purvis Young. Known for his depictions of
life in inner city Miami, Purvis shows images of hope alongside of distress.
His work expresses pure emotion from the subject matter to his choice of
canvas - discarded boards that he collects from his community. Part of the
HOB collection, Purvis painted the 20-foot fence at the Orlando venue.
Finally, Purvis was recently honored by the Smithsonian American Museum.
In addition to Purvis Young, Orlando will meet over thirty other folk
artists. From Ab the Flagman's constructions of the American Flag using
recycled materials to the work of Mary Proctor who transforms doors into art
using paint and found objects such as pottery, jewelry and bottle caps,
guests will find the artists diverse, dynamic and awe-inspiring. Other
artists in attendance include: Bettye Williams, Brian Dowdall, Don Stone,
Glenn Fox, Harry Teague, Mr. Imagination, James Gibson (An Original
Highwayman), Jim Shores, John Richards, Jon Nix, Kim Clayton, Lizzy
Williams, Mary Ellen Zeman, Rene Pierre, Richard Sinclair, Ruth Mae
McCrane, Primitive Eye Folk Art Gallery, Cavanaugh & Blue Gallery and Jeanine Taylor
Folk Art, to name a few.
The HOB Folk Art Festival is not just for the art collector. The
International House of Blues Foundation (IHOBF), a non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting cultural understanding and creative expression
through art and music, will host children's hands-on art projects led by a
variety of folk artists. Music lovers can groove to a diverse lineup of
bands including a set by folk artist Ab the Flagman's band. Additionally,
guests may taste the HOB delicious Mississippi Delta-inspired cuisine in the
Restaurant or the lakeside Voodoo Garden. Such items as Creole Jambalaya and
White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding are always in high demand during this
weekend celebration.
Admission to the House of Blues Third Annual "Where the Art Meets the Soul"
Folk Art Festival is FREE!

AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE: A Wacky Cinderella Story?

Not too long ago, American Head Charge co-founders Martin Cock and Chad
Hanks met in a Minneapolis rehab center. A short time after that, they were
discovered by legendary producer Rick Rubin (Red Hot Chili Peppers, System
of a Down, Johnny Cash) and found themselves in a Hollywood Hills haunted
mansion recording their debut CD. This past summer, they generated chaos
and a huge buzz on their first major tour -- Ozzfest 2001. Their first
promo video featured "Portrait of a Serial Killer" star Michael
Rooker, and, beginning next month, they join the "Pledge of Allegiance" tour, having been
personally chosen by members of the tour's co-headliners, Slipknot. Is this
a rock'n'roll Cinderella story for the 21st century?
According to Alternative Press, "AHC's debut CD, 'The War of Art,' is an
industrial-strength mixture of metal and melody, with enough engaging aural
flourishes and stylistic gear shifting to keep a listener's attention.
Though AHC shows have involved everything from spilled blood to burning
American flags to shotguns fired into the crowd, don't be fooled. The music
is the point..."

In response to numerous requests from Lamb fans
asking when the next single will be released we can tell you all that 'Gabriel' will finally drop on 1st October.
The new website has been updated with the lyrics, sound and video so
please check it out and let them know your thoughts.

E-Magine Recording artist Waldeck
has the lead track on the nationwide release of Banana Republic’s Cocktail Compilation CD released by Sweet
Mother Recordings in conjunction with Banana Republic.

Waldeck’s “This Isn’t Maybe,” off of this summers critically acclaimed The
Night Garden CD, is the chosen lead track to open this fall’s ‘chill out’
Banana Republic Cocktail Compilation and features a vocal sample by Chet
Baker. Waldeck is a Vienna based producer/ composer/ electronic musician
known for integrating beat driven lounge fare with luxurious hypnotic
ambient influences. Sweet Mother Recordings have placed the Waldeck track
first on the compilation to really set the mood.

Twenty- thousand copies of Banana Republic Cocktail Compilation will sell
nationwide in their 436 retail outlets from October 2001.

The remix of “This Isn’t Maybe” is currently getting raves by Mix Shows
nationally and is a Billboard Magazine Hot Dance Breakout track on the
charts. The video for “This Isn’t Maybe” is in heavy rotation on MTV2 as
well as MTV Europe.

There's nothing like an Insane Clown scorned, says Chicago industrial rapper
Marz, who was tossed off the Insane Clown Posse's Dark Lotus project because
the ICP's fans were taking a bit too much of a liking to him.
"The Juggalos [rabid fans of the wrestling-mask attired Insane Clown Posse]
started digging us," Marz tells Inc. "So the Posse went on their Web site
and basically said, `To all the Juggalos: Stop liking Marz.'"
Marz (whose real name is Zlatko Hukic) tells us the feud has gotten so bad,
the Insane Clown Posse has pulled 80,000 copies of Dark Lotus' "Tales from
the Lotus Pod" from stores, despite the fact the disc debuted atop Billboard
magazine's August chart of top-selling indie records. The very dirty disc
will be re-recorded without Hukic's contributions.
"Any part of it that's real [was my contribution]," says the 29-year-old
Marz.

System of a Down Speaks

"Our whole world has been sickened by the terrible events in New York and
D.C. I've been calling out to friends all week to make sure they're ok. My
heart goes out to all the families suffering because of this madness.

As American citizens, we are in the privileged position to be able to speak
our hearts, even if other people disagree. I highly value the fact that I
can make a statement with my intention being to sponsor peace and
understanding of the tragic events that have been unfolding. I ask only
that, for the long-term survival of our planet, we all concentrate on
positive energies in our lives while pursuing justice.

I would not be alive if not for the American orphanages that raised my
grandfather after the Armenian Genocide of 1915, so I have a lot of love and
respect for the good things that America has and can continue to achieve."

Following the releases of notinista single and notinism album, spies will present notinism.org live-movie in Japan (from Sept 13 to Sept 27) . A musical-movie projection, a multimedia act playing live with all human senses.
Pix... my pseudo was Pix, and I was a pro gamer. Few months ago, during a session on the net and by a mere accident, I reached
notinism.org.
Black...a black screen as a website! I thought it was in construction, but when I checked the source code of the site I felt it was something like a game. So, I played... This game was more difficult than I would have bet. Cryptography...
For a password of seven letters.
Actually, it took me some weeks to break the code. Then...my birthday...I received a mail...Inside it...A plug-in. A plug-in as a present? A plug-in for my browser?
By the way, a strange plug-in to experience...

Reeves is keeping busy these days having completed work on an Ozzy Osborne
track called "Black Skies," which is also the title of Ozzy's first Sony
Playstation game.
Reeves has also been in the studio with Mick Jagger working on a track for
Mick's solo album. The new Mick Jagger solo album is called "Goddess in the
Doorway," and will be released on Nov. 6 through a new contract with Virgin
Records according to Reuters. The star-filled CD also reportedly includes
U2's Bono, who provides additional vocals on one song; Aerosmith's Joe
Perry, who plays guitar on various tracks; and Wyclef Jean, who produced one
cut.
Reeves too has begun work on his next solo album and has started scoring
music for an as-yet-untitled indie film.
Interesting tidbit: The music from Ulysses has been licensed to MTV and can
be heard as background in popular programs such as Road Rules and Real
World.
